Here, though, with a quick sequence of school-related images and a shot of (apparently) young Clark running through the halls, we have to wonder whether his powers started to manifest for the first time while he was at school. The broom closet, of course ,is a wink and a nod to where Superman has often changed his clothes before ducking out the window at work to go save the day. Here, we get our first look at Martha Kent, trying to calm her son down while he hides in a broom closet. The whole thing where young Clark, inundated by his heightened senses, turns to his mother and says "the world is too big." recalls for me a scene from the John Byrne/Dan Jurgens era of Superman where Superman, unable to ignore cries for help from everyone, breaks down, telling his father "Everybody wants a piece of me," and his father had to teach him how to manage those feelings of responsibility without letting them break him.
